There are essentially two paths when it comes to trading approach: going all-in with martingale betting and riding volatility swings, or playing it smart with calculated entries and exits. Neither is inherently right or wrong—it really boils down to your risk appetite, capital size, and whether you can handle the psychological pressure. Martingale works until it doesn't; precision timing requires discipline and patience. Pick your poison.

To be honest, I've seen too many people get wiped out by the martingale strategy... it always ends with a massive liquidation.

The whole martingale system will eventually go bankrupt. I've never seen anyone make money relying on it.

Martingale strategies should have died long ago. Are you still praising them?

If the Martingale system were truly unbeatable, Wall Street would have been out of business long ago... Still, I believe that a stable Sharpe ratio is much more reliable than a gambler's mentality.

Martingale sounds very sexy, but it's really playing with fire. I've seen too many people lose everything, even their pants, because of this thing.
